Fulton County approves sub‑agreement so county will administer State Food Purchase Program
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a Sub‑Agreement naming the county to administer state food purchase funds, after the Fulton County Food Basket director told commissioners the funds now flow directly to the county.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to approve and execute a Sub‑Agreement between the County of Fulton and the Fulton County Food Basket, Inc. to designate the county as administrator of the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP). The motion was made by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch and recorded as approved by the board.
Food Basket Director Sue Cubbage explained to the commissioners that state funds now come directly to the county rather than to the Food Basket, which requires a county‑level Sub‑Agreement that names an administrator for the program. Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed attended the discussion; the minutes record this as the justification for the Sub‑Agreement. The minutes do not list the text of the Sub‑Agreement or the precise administrative responsibilities assigned to the county under the agreement.
The board voted in favor of executing the Sub‑Agreement; the minutes record no objections or abstentions and do not specify a separate implementation timetable or reporting schedule.
